What to expect

An online EMDR therapy session is similar to an in-person session in terms of structure and goals but is conducted virtually via a secure video conferencing platform. Here’s what you can expect from an online session:

The therapist may start with a brief check-in to see how you’re feeling and to ensure everything is set up properly for the session.

Explorations: During the assessment, you will likely discuss your history, symptoms, and goals with your therapist.

Bilateral Stimulation (BLS): The core of EMDR therapy involves bilateral stimulation to help process distressing memories.

Your therapist will closely monitor your emotional state and provide support and grounding techniques if needed.

Debriefing: Toward the end of the session, the therapist will help you return to a calm and stable state.

Follow up and scheduling the next session.

“I want to thank you for all that you helped me with. It’s been a hard year after my son passed (and) I thought I could work through it by myself. Then I discovered Doctor On Demand…I had heard about online therapy (but) it wasn't till I experienced it for myself.  I was completely unaware of the most amazing session of my life. I don't know where I would have been without it.”
